Default carbon canister removal

ive been looking at what to do with the three pipes on top, smallest pipe is purge, middle size pipe is fuel tank and larger pipe second purge and goes trough a valve and into air inlet and the vent at bottom of canister. there seems to be mixed oppinions on to do this, some say just cap them or t them or just loop the purge and fuel tank together with or without the one way valves. which is the correct way to do this and any pics thanks. car is a my 96.

You can't just blank them all as your tank needs to breathe & without a breather you'll have fuel starvation. First take the canister off & bin it. Then blanc the small vac pipes which go to & from the solenoid. Now route the tank vent pipe from the NS top strut area around the engine near the F bumper & to the old canister pipe which exits under the car on the NSF.
In effect you should have no leaking vac pipes & a tank vent to atmosphere under the NSF of the car. Just remember you may now get some fuel vapours escaping in this area now.
The above assumes that it's a classic but I'd imagine it would be similar for any model.
